Sphere of Resistancetax$26.94Very close tax effect that makes all spells cost {1} more to cast, hitting both creature and noncreature spells. It is a classic prison piece in the same slot.Thalia, Guardian of ThrabentaxBudget$0.39Similar noncreature-spell tax on a small body, but as a creature it is easier to apply pressure while slowing interaction. It is one of the closest functional equivalents in white.Thalia, Heretic Cathartax$2.21Not a spell tax, but it plays a similar disruptive role by slowing opponents' creatures and lands entering tapped. Good in the same kind of tempo-prison shell.Glowridertax$1.34A direct creature analogue to Thorn of Amethyst that taxes noncreature spells by {1}. It fits the same anti-combo, anti-storm role.Vryn WingmaretaxBudget$0.24Essentially Glowrider with evasion, taxing noncreature spells by {1} on a flying body. It is a strong functional substitute in white prison decks.Lodestone GolemtaxBudget$0.29Another colorless tax artifact that increases the cost of nonartifact spells by {1}. It overlaps heavily with Thorn as a prison piece, though it is more restrictive.Trinispheretax$20.15A stronger lock piece that forces small spells to cost at least three mana, which can function similarly against cheap decks and combo. It is less precise but often more punishing.Damping Spheretax$1.08Targets explosive mana and spell chains by taxing extra spells and big mana turns. It serves a similar hate-piece role against combo and storm strategies.
